Unlock all combat-specific achievements and trophies in Metro: Last Light Redux! Learn how to get kills with every weapon, set enemies on fire, and more.
Alright, let's talk about racking up those combat achievements in Metro: Last Light Redux. These are the ones that really test your skills and make you feel like a true Ranger. We'll go through each one, so you know exactly what you need to do to get that sweet, sweet platinum or 100% completion.
Shadow
This one's all about being sneaky. You need to get 15 stealth kills. This means taking out enemies without them ever knowing you were there. It's a great way to practice your silent takedowns and conserve ammo.
Soldier & Antibiotic
These two are pretty straightforward kill counts. You need to rack up 100 kills against human enemies for 'Soldier' and another 100 against mutants for 'Antibiotic'. If you're playing through the game normally, especially if you're not going for a pure stealth run, you'll likely unlock these without even trying. If you find yourself short, especially on the human kills, replay some of the more combat-heavy levels like 'Revolution', 'Bandits', or 'Contagion' a few times. Just keep pushing forward and blasting!
No Shooting Allowed
This is a fun challenge: get 10 kills in a row using only Throwing Knives. You can one-shot most human enemies with these from a decent distance, and the best part is you can often loot the knife back from their body to use again. The 'Bandits' level is perfect for this. It's dark, and there are plenty of enemies around, making it ideal for sneaking and lining up those knife throws without alerting anyone. Just make sure you get 10 in a row without using any other weapon.
Gunslinger
To get this achievement, you've got to be a true jack-of-all-trades with your weaponry. You need to get at least one kill with every single weapon available in the game. This includes your trusty melee options like the Knife, all the pistols (Ashot, Lolife, Revolver), shotguns (Duplet, Saiga, Shambler), assault rifles (Bastard, Kalash, Kalash 2012), sniper rifles (VSV, Preved, Valve), and special weapons like the Helsing and Tikhar. Don't forget about the Minigun either! On top of that, you'll also need to bag kills with thrown explosives: Claymores, Grenades, Incendiary Devices, and Throwing Knives. So, experiment with everything you find!
Inferno
This one requires a bit of crowd control. You need to set two enemies on fire at the same time. It doesn't matter if you use one incendiary device or multiple; the goal is just to have two bad guys engulfed in flames simultaneously. Keep an eye out for groups of enemies, especially in tighter spaces, and toss those incendiaries strategically.
Tortoise
Spiders giving you the creeps? This achievement turns that fear into a strategy. You need to make 10 spiders flip onto their backs. When you encounter these eight-legged horrors, remember they're afraid of light. Pull out your trusty flashlight and focus the beam on a spider for a few seconds. It'll rear up and flip over. Just repeat this 10 times, and you'll have this trophy.
Soup
This is a quirky one: kill 5 Shrimp with Grenades. You'll want to tackle this during missions that involve swampy or watery areas where these little guys hang out, like 'Sundown', 'Nightfall', 'The Crossing', or 'The Garden'. Make sure you're using grenades for the kills, and specifically target the spitting shrimp, as those seem to be the ones that count towards this achievement.
Van Helsing
This achievement tasks you with taking down a Demon using the Helsing weapon. The earliest you can get this is by purchasing the Helsing from the gun shop in the 'Quarantine' level. Then, you'll need to carry it with you until you encounter demons, which you'll find a couple of on 'The Crossing' level. Equip the Helsing and take one down to unlock this trophy.
